Using lesson plans and materials from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ News School Report website, and with support from Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ staff, teachers help students develop their journalistic skills and become School Reporters.
 | | Students will initially research news |
On 22 March 2007, 60 schools around the country will take part in Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ School Report News Day - creating news reports and publishing or broadcasting them on their school website. Eventually every secondary school in the country might want to take part but 2006/2007 is a pilot year. Poltair School in St Austell, and Sir James Smith School in Camelford are the two schools in Cornwall taking part in the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ project. Working to a deadline, students taking part in News Day will use reports they have prepared in advance and reports produced on the day - just like Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ journalists. They can cover local news stories from their schools and communities as well as national and international stories. Schools can choose to make news on TV, radio or online.
 | | Later the students can film the news |
Here on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Cornwall website we'll not only show the work produced on the day, but also report on the lead up to the 22 March. To help schools the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ will: Publish lesson plans approved by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ College of Journalism, tested by teachers and mapped to the curriculum
